Calculation principle for the curves / charts: from the right to the left.

I will try to explain my question:
when I am building eg. two MACD curves with different time frames on the same Price-bar diagramm via studies, overlays, etc.:
1) MACD (1 minute) + 2) MACD (15 minutes)
The last piece of MACD (15 min) curve is always coming with 15 min delay, as long as the software waits next 15 minutes for the last bar to come and to be incorporated in the calculations, as long as all your calculations are based on the principle from the past to the present (or simply saying have zero point on the left side of the numeric axis).
Is it possible to start calculculation not in the past, but in the present (right now) on-the-fly? For example to start calculations 1 second from now (or on a mouse click), calculate the correct starting point for MACD(15) in the past in order to ensure, that points of both curves: eg. MACD-1-min and MACD-15-min are coming simultaneously?
Of course one does not need the whole data for weeks or months to be recalculated. But I would like to have it recalculated at least for the last 12-24 hours.
Is it possible?
